May 2024 · 5 minute read

Aaron Kendrick De Niro is an American celebrity kid who takes a spot as one of the seven children of the famous Hollywood star and two-time Oscar winner, Robert De Niro. He was born into fame by his parents, Robert and Toukie Smith, an actress and model, but decided against living in it.

The young man chose to live his life away from the spotlight but still enjoyed some sort of attention as the son of a renowned actor. Like that’s not enough call for attention, his twin brother, Julian, is also an actor, and when the spotlight turns on Julian, he gets a bit thrown his way by virtue of being born on the same day.

Aaron Kendrick De Niro's Personal Profile

Aaron Kendrick De Niro Bio

Aaron Kendrick De Niro was born on October 20, 1995, in New York, United States alongside his twin brother, Julian Henry De Niro to Robert De Niro and Toukie Smith. He and his brother were conceived through IVF ( In Vitro Fertilization) and were delivered by a surrogate mother.

One year after his birth his parents parted ways after 8 years of relationship. He grew up in New York City where he attended a high school in New York.

The 28-year-old isn’t an Actor

In an interview with People, Aaron Kendrick’s father revealed that he allows his children to choose their career paths. He stated that if they wanted to become actors, he would have no problems with their decision and only advise them on what to do.

If they desire to be something else, the award-winning actor would also root for them. The bottom line is that their choices are all dependent on them as long as they are happy. His only concern was that they should not sell themselves short and not be scared.

On that note, Aaron took his father’s words seriously and chose to be away from fame. He is one of the few De Niro kids who’s not in the spotlight as much.

It isn’t known what career path he chose, if he is in the entertainment industry and probably working behind the scenes.

There is a common misconception that suggests that the About My Father actor’s second twin son may also be an actor. This misconception stems from the fact that there is another actor and writer who goes by the same name as Aaron Kendrick.

However, multiple online sources debunk this news. The actor who goes by the same moniker isn’t De Niro’s son.

Aaron’s twin brother is, on another hand, the total opposite of him when it comes to his low-key profile. Julian Henry De Niro who was born on the same day as Aaron, is a well-known actor, just like his parents.

Julian’s acting career dates back to 2016 in the movie In Dubious Battle. His most recent acting feat is his role as the young version of the former American president, Barack Obama in the 2022 series, The First Lady.

Although Aaron Kendrick De Niro’s current career is unknown due to his low profile, his sibling’s social media updates portray him as a happy and content celebrity child.
